ByRusty Surette

LEON COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) – A former Leon County Sheriff’s Deputy has been charged with another count of sexually abusing a child.

Robert Joe Stanford was first arrested earlier this summer following an indictment that accuses him of sexually assaulting a child multiple times in 2020.

Stanford was arrested again last Thursday and charged with indecency with a child by sexual contact.

Prosecutors say the latest charge is linked to a second child and the alleged act occurred in 2015.

Stanford is due back in court later this month.
